If you have your own boat, or access to a boat owned by a friend or family member, and you’re looking for an enthusiastic and extremely capable tutor, then you’ve come to the right place. We can train you on your boat anywhere in the world. Our instructors can travel to your boat and give you guidance on cruising in the areas you would like to go.

As the training will be on your boat we can help you learn its unique handling characteristics, how to use its equipment, and offer advice on how best to set it up for you to use. We can spend a day teaching you the basics such as manoeuvring and berthing, or several days to teach complete courses such as the RYA Powerboat Level 2. As you pay per day, not per student, we can train as many people as you would like for general tuition, or up to 3 people for any RYA Powerboat course. We can also teach different courses to your crew to suit their individual abilities. This makes it a brilliant choice for families and groups who want to do their training together but would like to focus on different skills to suit their knowledge.

We only use instructors with several years teaching experience on powerboats. We make sure the instructor we provide will have experience on a similar vessel as yours and will be capable of showing you the best methods for your boat.

For own boat tuition on Power Boats the RYA recommend that the boat should be an open sports boat, fishing boat, or RIB and be less than 10m in length. It can be planing or displacement craft, and be powered by outboards, stern drives, or shaft driven. If your boat does not meet these guidelines then it may be applicable to sail or motor own boat tuition. Feel free to give us a call to check.
